Religious symbols in classrooms

Religious symbols in classrooms

What are your thoughts regarding religious symbols in classrooms?

The Italy V. Lautsi case ended with the European Court allowing crucifixes to be maintained in classrooms as a symbol of cultural identity. Firstly they decided against religious symbols in classrooms, but after that the court reunited fully with all judges and they decided it was not against the Italian constitution or Human Rights

I've studied extensively and debated this case in college, I'd like to know other people's opinions

Keep in mind this is not against personal symbols every person can wear, but against symbols placed deliberately in public schools/classrooms where everyone can see them.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
